enDisplayLink Adapters Demoed at IDF 2012. HDMI & DVI Over USB Becomes A Realityhttp://www.maximumpc.com/article/news/displaylink_adapters_demoed_idf_2012_hdmi_dvi_over_usb_becomes_reality
<!--paging_filter--><p><img src="/files/u46173/uv39_header.jpg" alt="EVGA" style="float: right;" />PC Manufacturers are working day and night to shrink Ultrabooks into impossibly thin new form factors, and one of the casualties&nbsp;of this push has been output display options. VGA and DVI made way for mini display port and HDMI, however even these smaller connectors take up precious space. Even if your laptop sports one, what if you want more than one external display? The answer my friends is <a href="http://www.maximumpc.com/tags/displaylink">DisplayLink</a>. The proliferation of USB 3 on Intel’s new chipsets is making outputting to multiple monitors over USB much more than a hack, this could well be the future.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/15/displaylink-docks-adapters-hp-lenovo-evga-targus-idf-2012/">Engadget</a> snapped off some pictures of new offerings from EVGA, HP, Lenovo, and even Targus. Here is a quick run-down on each of the offerings.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=100-U3-UV39-KR">EVGA UV Plus +39</a>: HDMI or DVI at resolutions up to 2048 x 1152 for $85.</p>
<p><a href="http://shop.lenovo.com/us/itemdetails/0B47072/460/D9D7E3B5E92F40DD9D2CF85459B8AFCB">Lenovo</a>: DVI only, support for resolutions up to 2048x1152 for $80</p>
<p><a href="http://www.shopping.hp.com/en_US/home-office/-/products/Accessories/Docking-Stations-and-Stands/H2L61AA?HP-USB-3.0-Port-Replicator">HP 3005pr</a>: This bad boy turns one USB 3 port into four USB 2.0, two USB 3.0, along with one HDMI, and a DisplayPort. Amazingly it also offers an Ethernet jack, along with audio in and out connections for a mere $150.&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.targus.com/us/productdetail.aspx?regionId=7&amp;sku=ACP71USZ">Targus</a>: Offers specs much the same as the HP model listed above, but swaps the DisplayPort for DVI. The $250 price tag is justified by adding the ability to charge 90w laptops using packed in universal adapters. This might be useful if you leave your power brick at the office.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The last two options come pretty close to being the ultimate docking station for a notebook, but these DisplayLink adapters could also come in handy for desktop users looking to add additional display’s without cracking open the case.</p>

<!--paging_filter--><p><img src="/files/u138055/winstar.jpg" width="228" height="183" style="float: right;" />It’s not all quad cores and Sandy Bridges at the Intel Developer Forum this year; DisplayLink brought a touch of home theater to the party with the announcement of the world's first USB-to-HDMI adapter that taps into the raw speed of SuperSpeed USB 3.0 connections. It’s built around the company’s DL-3500 chip, sports the creative name “Winstars SuperSpeed USB 3.0 to HDMI adapter,” and (probably) spells an end to the jaggies you see when streaming PC video to your television.</p>
<p>DisplayLink’s <a href="http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20110913006426/en/DisplayLink-Debuts-USB-3.0-Graphics-Adapter-IDF">press release</a> divulges all the dirty details: “<em>The DisplayLink DL-3500 chip gives the Winstars USB 3.0 to HDMI adapter the ability to use an HDTV monitor in either mirror mode or extended mode, at resolutions up to 2560 x 1600, with ultra-low latency, smooth window and cursor movement, and full support for full-screen 3D games and video playback. It also features 2.1/5.1 channel audio and auto-sensing hot plug support.</em>”</p>
<p>Well, that about explains it. DisplayLink says the adapter’s going to be ready to roll with USB 3.0-packin’ Intel CPUs later this year (that’s probably how they snuck this into IDF). They didn’t mention any pricing or date specifics.</p>
<p><em>Pssst... that's an old USB 2.0 model in the pic.</em></p>

<!--paging_filter--><p>Forget about your swank two-monitor setup, word on the tech block is that Intel's 4 Series chipset for desktop and notebook displays will support four monitors at the same time. DisplayLink is providing its technology through a license model, and Intel has <a href="http://www.tomshardware.com/news/LCD-DisplayLink-G45,6236.html">jumped first in line</a> as a major customer.</p>
<p>Two of the displays will come courtesy of conventional outputs, while the other two can be connected via USB 2.0. Previous to this, DisplayLink support was only provided to displays that included the company's DP-120/160 chips. Also prior, enthusiasts wanting a four-display setup had to rely on graphics cards outputs.</p>
<p>But what about the performance impact? TGDaily <a href="http://www.tgdaily.com/content/view/37443/135/">noted</a> up to 30 percent CPU utilization with the DP-120/160 chips, so it will be interesting to see how the G45 chipset handles DisplayLink chores. </p>
